This process is completely independent from the DP-PMI: each applicant should contact directly the necessary authorities. To help the candidates, the DP-PMI has collected the information below:

- Applicants who are Portuguese citizens and currently have their permanent residence in Portugal must submit an atestado de residência, issued by their Junta de Freguesia.

- Applicants who are citizens of an European Union member-state and currently have their permanent residence in Portugal must submit a certificado de registo de cidadão da UE, issued by their Câmara Municipal, or, in alternative, a certificado de residência permanente para a UE, issued by Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras (SEF).

- Applicants who are citizens of states that are not members of the European Union and currently have their permanent residence in Portugal must submit a certificado de residência permanente, or, in alternative, a título de residência, both issued by Serviço de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras (SEF).

Notes:

Please start this process early enough, so that you can submit your DP-PMI application, with the proof of permanent residence in Portugal, by the deadline of the DP-PMI call.

Finally, please note this process is completely independent from the DP-PMI: for further assistance and more information, please contact directly the necessary authorities.
